You may have been shopping on Black Friday...not me! I was cropping all day and finished up a bunch of 2011 layouts. I discovered a great sketch site called Creative Scrappers - they host challenges and provide lots of inspiration!

Well it is not even December and I already have the treats done for my sons’ classmates. Making treats for the class are one of my favorite things to do. I let my boys pick out what they wanted to give their classmates. My 6 year old son picked out these bright colored candy canes.

I cut the shadow of the sled using some silver holographic paper. It had snowflakes and worked perfect!

Next I cut the sleds, tags and stampables. I used three different colors to match the candy canes.I also picked out three different colors of twine from the Twinery.

I stamped my stampables using my Punkin’ Patch Stamps. I always cut extra just incase I mess up. Still mastering the art of stamping.

Next apply the stampables to the tags and attach the tags to the sled using the twine. Attach the sled to the sled base.

Next attach two candy canes to the bottom of each sled. I used wide packing tape to attach.

Punkin’ Patch Stamps is having a Cyber Monday Sale -Save 40% on your entire purchase and get FREE shipping if you buy two or more sets of stamps ~ Expires midnight Monday.Stop by their website or FB page to find out more!

Oh my - have you seen it? The latest Kit from SVG Cuts released last night is called Spirits of Christmas Past. When I viewed the video I could not decide which 3D item to make first!

Well since I am a big frame person could not wait to try the Framed Box. I took out the butterflies that were supplied and added in the gingerbread man and a tag at the bottom. I plan to give this to friends of ours who had a baby awhile back and include a gift card in the box. Might be able to fit some cute little socks too. So it is a frame and box all in one.

The Gingerbread SVG is a freebie from SVG Cuts.Click here to grab it.'I used fellow DT Member, Cheryl’s technique with the white dots. It needed something and it was the perfect touch. My white pens never seem to work so I used white acrylic paint and applied with the flat side of a wooden skewer.

I had great fun crafting last weekend with the Creative Charms November Kit of the Month. Here is a shadowbox I created. The size is 8" x 8" which is perfect for all the wall or it can be displayed in one of the holders on a coffee table or on a kitchen counter. I picked up my frame and holder at Joanns.

The kit has plenty of goodies. I used the Vintage Poppies, Christmas Vintage Metal Frames, Christmas Twinkle Stickers and the green accent from the Red Fuzzy Daisy Medley.

Some of you may know I have my own Photo Booth Business, Ham It Up! My best buddy and I take a photo booth to weddings, parties, reunions, etc and guests pick out props and go in to the booth and it takes 4 photos. Two strips print out - one for the guests and one goes in a scrapbook. I create the custom designed scrapbook to match the wedding theme & colors.

Well we have had a very busy fall wedding season. Just calculated if you lay out the pages I've done from September to November they would span over 1/8 of a MILE! Wow! I love it ~ I get paid to scrapbook.

Here are a few of my pages from a recent wedding. Also...I can tell you the {IN} color for this fall is eggplant. I think I have bought Joann's out of “eggplant” multiple times. Sorry if you were looking for that color :)

Now that I have a bit of a break in the action - I'll be catching up on all the great files SVG Cuts has released and start my holiday crafting!
